The National General Practice Study of Epilepsy

Clinical expression and EEG features of patients with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) from North India

“…The clinical and EEG characteristics of 103 probands with JME studied in a tertiary care super speciality centre are similar to those from other centres in the world 3,8,9,13,14 in some aspects. In some original large series 8,9,11 of JME the sex distribution was found to be approximately 1 : 1, as found in our study (1.19 : 1).…”

Newly diagnosed single unprovoked seizures and epilepsy in Stockholm, Sweden: First report from the Stockholm Incidence Registry of Epilepsy (SIRE)

“…The proportion with unclassified seizures was reduced from 47.4% to 27.8% when all available information was taken into account rather than only the semiology of the index seizure, which demonstrates the importance in describing the basis for seizure classification in studies of this kind. The 27.8% considered to have unclassified seizures is still higher than in most other studies (Sander et al., 1990; Manford et al., 1992; Zarrelli et al., 1999). This can be explained by our dependence on medical records, the short follow‐up, and the comparatively low proportion with neuroimaging, but also by our application of strict criteria for classification.…”

SUDEP in the North American SUDEP Registry

“…The distribution of generalized and focal epilepsy paralleled their frequency in the general epilepsy population: 40% had generalized seizures, 60% had focal seizures, and 10% had both. 29,30 Finally, lack of ASMs was common: 11% were not prescribed ASMs, with only 37% of those prescribed ASMs reported to have taken their last dose before death. This suggests that a single missed dose of ASM may, in some patients and circumstances, increase SUDEP risk.…”
